9 months til we say "I DO"

I can't believe it, only 9 months to go! This morning when I noticed it was the 14th, I was thinking it was 10 months to go, but after some counting, I realized it's actually only 9 months! I swear I used to be good at math...

Along the lines of wedding planning, this is what we have accomplished so far, surprisingly, Marc has been very involved in ALL of these choices (except for the dress and shoe choice of course!):

• Chose the venue: Mill Valley Outdoor Art Club
• Set the date: 9/14/13
• Chose the caterer: Affair to Remember
• Decided on our color scheme: navy blue, coral, cream and green (aka the garden!)
• Purchased my dress: from Glamour Closet in SF
• Took my dress to my favorite seamstress: she is currently working her magic to make it shrink down a few sizes :)
• Purchased my shoes: from SoleSociety.com (they will arrive in the mail today, maybe I'll share a picture of those soon!)
• Selected our wedding party: 5 bridesmaids and 5 groomsmen
• "Proposed" to our ring bearer: my cousin's little boy, he'll be almost 3 years old come wedding time
• "Proposed" to our flower girl: Marc's little cousin, she will be 7 years old come wedding time
• Chose the music/band: Marc's uncle will play at our ceremony and DJ at the reception
• Selected our officiant: my uncle will perform our ceremony, he even got ordained online already!
• Purchased our favors: I ordered them online today at theknot.com
• Purchased our invitations: bought them at Michael's on Black Friday, we will print them ourselves
• Selected a photographer for our engagement photos: my sister and her bf gave this to us as an early wedding gift! We will take the photos in January at a beautiful outdoor location.
• Made a wedding website: we will share it when it is complete
• Purchased Marc's wedding ring: got a sweet deal on Black Friday

WOW! When I spell it out like that, it feels like I've done a lot and I don't feel so overwhelmed by everything else that has been going on which has taken me from wedding planning. We still have lots of little things to do, but I'm so glad most of the main stuff is taken care of. Now that I have an entire room in the house to dedicate to wedding planning, let Wine Wedding Wednesdays begin!!

If you check out my "Weddings" Pinterest board, you will get a pretty good idea of what look we are going for! Here is a sneak peak of my favorite color sheme inspiration picture:
